Aden Duale is no ordinary CS. He leads the State Department of Defence. A key, critical and sensitive Ministry.
His sentiments on national Radio that retired President Kenyatta has set emmiseries raise fundamental issues that deserve probity.
#HandLegShake
Was Aden Duale speaking as a politician or defence CS. If he was making a reckless political statement, that can be understood.
#HandLegShake
However, if retired President Kenyatta has sent emissaries to the Government over the invasion of Northlands, then the CS cannot make it public.
#HandLegShake
As a public officer of the rank of CS, he is bound by the Official Secrets Act.
As Defence CS, the bar is even higher.

Granted we have been told Raila is Kenyatta's puppet on a stipend.. By none other than DP Gachagua, Kimani Ichungw'a and now Duale
#HandLegShake
By why should Uhuru, after peaceful hand over of power, seek Duale or Moses Kuria to deliver his message to Government
#HandLegShake
Aden Duale sentiments and opinion on the political stand off between Raila and the Government further alienates the President from Kenyans.
#HandLegShake
Uhuru Kenyatta ruled Kenya for 10 years. Even at demagogue standards, he must have some solid following within Kenya. #HandLegShake
He made friends and enemies in equal measure. Kenyatta friends are well spread out countrywide, including in Garissa, Duale's home

Some lesson for Duale. In 2003, Kiraitu Murungi derided Retired President Moi to go to Kabarak and rear goats.
For good measure, Murungi told Moi to relax and watch how Government is run... And how corruption is retiring with him..
#HandLegShake
Kiraitu then thought President Kibaki and Angel Gabriel were peers.
Anglo Leasing struck a year later... making Moi look like a saint. #HandLegShake
Kiraitu, Chris Murungaru instigated the sacking of Kalenjins and those perceived to be Moi moles from Government
And so Kalenjins were ruthlessly sacked from security organs, Central Bank, Treasury and KRA. #HandLegShake
